Hello all,

I apologize for not replying earlier (at least to say thanks).

Okay, here is what I did to get the space to go in between the 0100 and 00:

1. From the book level, highlight a chapter and then select Format>Document>Numbering.
2. Next, at the Chapter #: field, enter in the designated chapter number (e.g. 0100 00).
3. In the Format: field choose Text from the drop down menu.
4. Click Set.
5. Repeat this process until all the chapter files have been set with this type of numbering scheme.

If you are working with a MIL-STD 40051 spec and need to have the work packages, figures and titles contained in the TOC only (versus in separate TOC, LOF and LOT) then complete the following:

1. From the Book Level of your technical manual, generate a new TOC.
2. After the TOC has been generated, go to the Reference Page of the the TOC and scroll down to the last page.
3. Enter in values similar to these (using tabs also from your Paragraph Designer - e.g. 6.0 right justified with leader dots):

openObjectId <$relfilename>:<$ObjectType><$ObjectId>
<$paranum>......<$paratext>.......................<$chapnum><$pagenum>
<$paranum>......<$paratext>.......................<$chapnum><$pagenum>

<$paratext>...............................................WP<$chapnum>
<$paranum>......<$paratext>.......................<$chapnum><$pagenum>
<$paranum>......<$paratext>.......................<$chapnum><$pagenum>
<$paranum>......<$paratext>.......................<$chapnum><$pagenum>
<$paranum>......<$paratext>.......................<$chapnum><$pagenum>

Note the chapter number 0100 00 (on the Master Page) is contained on the same line in the page header with the book title, however the chapter number is a variable. Also, you can have the PDF bookmarks automatically generate by creating a hidden (white) text style with the 0100 00 numbering placed in front of all Heading 1 styles (on the Body Page).

I hope this is helpful to anyone working with this specification.

Thanks,

Jim
